ED Slaps FEMA Case On Myntra for Flouting FDI Rules
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on July 23, filed a complaint under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (FEMA) against Myntra Designs Private Limited, its related entities, and their directors for alleged violations amounting to Rs 1,654.35 crore.
According to the ED, Myntra and associated entities carried out Multi-Brand Retail Trade (MBRT) operations while falsely claiming to operate as “Wholesale Cash & Carry” businesses. This alleged misrepresentation is in direct violation of the FDI policy, which restricts foreign investment in MBRT under certain conditions.

According to the ED, Myntra routed the majority of its sales through M/s. Vector E-Commerce Pvt. Ltd., a company from the same corporate group, which then sold the goods directly to end consumers.
